Ok so the idea is to take a creative shot of a Vintage gun. I'm super into old Milsurp but anything goes here. Just have fun.

This one is special. Type 38 Arisaka that my great Uncle brought home from the Pacific Theater after WWII. I reload for and enjoy shooting this piece of history!

Well, what do you know? If I were ever to do an AR it would look just like that, except for the optic.
Anymore, these are the extent of my vintages.
03A3, 2-43 dated, 4-groove. I bought it in sporterized condition with Bishop wood, and drilled and tapped for both a scope and receiver sight, and I didn't waste too much time restoring it back to military configuration.
The Garand's receiver is dated to 6-43, but it's seen at least three barrels. The '56 barrel, that was on it when I bought it, had seen a lot of Korean steel cleaning rods and I had re-barreled by Springfield Armory.
Had a Canadian Marked Smith and Wesson M1917, like Ric's, that had the barrel cut down to just ahead of the ejector rod housing. It was intended to be the truck's tool box gun, but it didn't know about about any kind of accuracy.

Ok Ian, game on! This one is all original M16a1 - the upper ONLY! the lower is commercial bought with M16a1 surplus butt stock and pistol grip. Gotta love the rack numbers!

I don't have an original photo of my 28/30 but found this one on the net.
Mine was made on a New England Westinghouse action and the barrel is dated 1932. The receiver says Sk.Y. and this is the best Mosin I have ever shot. However, the sights are so bad that I can only shoot one 10 group before they just fade away.

Dragged the old Model 1822 Springfield Flintlock out today. Muzzle loader season started today. Might give it a go. I'll see if I can snap a decent pic of it for this thread.

1894 Winchester in .30 WSF (30-30) serial number dates it around 1912.
Belonged to my father and shoots well.
Picture is at the porch of one of my sheds where I collect old junk.

Early in WW2 Winchesters were placed on US subs for dock protection and landing parties.... These were mostly the pre-war construction subs.

Well now I gotta go out and dig it out if the back of the safe but I think you are correct . . . 1894 model.

Got a couple of pump action oldies
Top - Colt Lightning medium frame 44 cal year is 1894. Rifle has British proof marks, better than good bore, and fun shooter.
Second- Remington Gamemaster model 141 in 35 caliber, made from 1936 till 1950
Third- Remington model 12C which sports a 24” octagonal barrel, the 12A had a 22” round barrel, both were Short , Long, & Long Rifle. The 12B Short only and the 12CS was 22 Remington Special or WRF.
These model 12 are my favorite 22’s ever produced. My brother down in the lower 48 has a 12A that he’s giving to me after much badgering.
The model 12’s were made from 1909 till 1936
4th - Remington model 25A in 25-20, 24” barrel, fair amount of ware but presentable with a very good bore.
5th- Remington model 25R carbine with a 18” barrel in 25-20. Gun has a lot of ware but tight action and a better bore then the 25A.
The model 25 was made from 1923 to 1936
Picture of the wrist repair and showing that there’s not a stitch of bluing let on the little gun. This is a recently acquired from a friend who did the repair. When Phil got the rifle the wrist was held together with a hose clamp.
I really like the Remington pump rifles, I’ll sometime this winter hopefully get that 12A from my brother to add into the bunch. Really want to come up with a 14&1/2 in 44-40. Really need one of those.

Well if Winchester made a 1896 lever, I missed it.

Funny you should mention the Hall rifle. In Wednesday’s local rag there is this:
I looked at this rifle yesterday and didn’t have my phone to take a picture. I will be going back today and will take pictures.
